Bread and Roses on the 100th Anniversary of Women's Day

2011-03-08T09:09:00.000-08:00

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Women's Day, I thought I'd just remind everyone exactly why women are so cool besides the obvious mesmerizing curves of our bodies that have stirred witch hunts, and been the fulcrum for artists, writers and musicians throughout time. International Women's Day is a celebration of the protests and strikes that are part of a long and rich history of the

The Human Centipede - The First Segment

2010-10-04T08:38:00.000-07:00

Okay- you're wondering if "The Human Centipede" is worth watching and you want an opinion. My first thought- If you're an Ass-Man, this film's for you. (Seriously, that was my first thought.) I'm not a big fan of ultra-realism gore, and the cover of the DVD doesn't ease my apprehension by stating right upfront "100% MEDICALLY ACCURATE." But I couldn't help myself, and that's a good thing

Gifting the Good Gifts - Cool Tech Gifts That Won't Break Your Bank

2010-09-20T08:10:00.000-07:00

Every holiday season and birthday occasion, I want to be the relative who gives the coolest high-tech gifts. I want the kids to be reeling with excitement so much that they could almost jump out of their skin because they can't wait to open my gift. (This is when my bank account snarls, my wallet laughs at me and my accountant tells me that hand knitted scarves fit my budget.) But I'm determined

Spyker Cars says "enough is enough" to Dagens Industri

2010-08-10T19:10:00.000-07:00

Spyker CEO, Victor Muller, has apparently had enough of the raw speculation churned out by Dagens Industri (DI), the tabloid style financial paper in Sweden. Although they have worked cohesively in the past, today the newspaper published a strongly opinionated and negative article about the ownership structure and funding of Saab Automobiles specifically aimed at Vladimir Antonov. Both Spyker

Interview with Scott Thompson on Danny Husk: The Hollow Planet

I had the opportunity to interview Scott Thompson of Kids in the Hall fame about his new project, a graphic novel titled "Danny Husk: The Hollow Planet." If you're a fan of KITH, then you know Danny Husk as the extraordinarily ordinary character that Scott Thompson has played for over 20 years. Husk, he assures us has stayed true to his "average guy" persona, but within the malleable pith of

For Cartoon Lovers

2010-04-05T14:24:00.000-07:00

People often ask me where I come up with the ideas for my cartoons, and my answer varies. Often they come from direct interactions with people and the situations I observe around me. Being perceptive to my surroundings is a big part of it. Staying on top of current affairs is also helpful for gathering information that an audience can relate to, but it's also because my perception of events is

A Dream & Reality

2010-02-21T08:43:00.000-08:00

Part (1) I had a dream last night that I was in a meeting with an acquaintance. We were discussing something rather important (I can't remember what- perhaps it's the answer to the whole dream) but anyway, we were interrupted when someone stormed into the room, pointed at the window and yelled that there was a hawk outside. Fascinated, I flung open the curtains to see what he was talking

My computer is in a coma. The doctors say she won't wake up but I still have hope. We've surgically extracted her brain but it's useless without a head to plop it in. I think she knew it was coming, making sure I had every opportunity to preserve my passwords and family photos. she's lived a full life for which we are all grateful- more than most computers would dare to process.

2009-11-27T15:42:00.000-08:00

I am so happy to have my car back! I was driving my friend to the airport in my SLK 230 when suddenly the right front wheel froze and caused the car to practically spin into other traffic and the retainer wall. Luckily I wasn't driving very fast. Well, needless to say, I took it to the Mercedes Service Center in Santa Monica immediately (this was in September.) I was told that the YAW sensor

God is a Purple Platypus

Ok, I know it sounds like a ridiculous statement, but if you had been told that God was a purple platypus since you were a kid it would sound totally normal. I'm not going to tell you that a purple platypus exists just because I believe it should, but I'm not going to tell you that a purple platypus doesn't exist either. For all I know there's a hundred of them having tea with a unicorn right

Creepiness. Last night I was standing in the kitchen telling a friend about my grandmothers house. I was going to show it to him on my GPS and just as I was about to dial in the coordinates, we both heard music. We looked at each other wondering where it was coming from and then searched the front and back yard. We didn't find anyone so we went back to the kitchen to see if we could still hear

Then this one called "The Phantom Time Theory" was brought to my attention. (FYI: gotta have a catchy name if you make a conspiracy theory.)

Just remembered this dream I had last night... It really is a dream so I can't suggest you read this if you're looking for something with insight or a plot! I dreamt that a large exotic blue bird flew into the house and I could hear that it was being chased by meowing cats. I went to look where the bird had hidden and I gathered him up in my hands and held him tightly against me. He had an

I woke up this morning to cannibalism. I opened my eyes to see some hazily moving blob on the wall above my head and when my eyes adjusted, I realized it was a big gangly spider and he was hobbling along because he was carrying something. I got out of bed and picked up my bug box. This is actually a tupperware container with a lid that I use to scoop up uninvited creatures such as this. So

A Vintage Love Letter

2009-09-19T12:42:00.000-07:00

While going through some vintage magazines, I found an old typed out letter. I'm not sure exactly when it was written but the paper looks aged and frail. It's from a wife to her husband and I think it's endearing so I thought I'd post it. I don't know if people write to each other like this anymore. But if anyone wants to try, I've got an old electric typewriter for you.Dear Dick, Everything

That's what I've been called. I don't now why, but half the people I know are all about the "weed."Of course it could be that I lived in Venice for a while and there is that upsurge of "legal" collectives, or pharmacies there. This makes sense, but then if you realize that I don't smoke pot, and I don't eat magic brownies then why is it that people always want to give me weed? I've even ended

It's for one of those makeover shows where they tell someone that she has no style and then dress her like she's got reservations at the Ivy.But I like that they usually end with the person completely bewildered and wobbling off uncomfortably in heels.So my friend asked me to
